American in Amsterdam Lyrics
It's only been an hour
But I think I feel the power
Tell me, where do you guys wanna go to?
Well, I could go for that
But I need to buy a hat
I think I saw some for sale on the small streets
Can I play the game without a plan?
I think Pete has the map, but tell me, what's the difference?
I do not know exactly where I am
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in...
Phil the mushroom Jesus
He is standing in between us
Preaching words that he doesn't believe
I think that he is cracking
'Cause he keeps calling me Captain
And he's barking and growling at strangers
Later on tonight he's gonna turn back into Elvis
When they kick his ass out of the sex show
We play in a band that has no fans
I think Pete lost the map; we don't know where we're going
I'm trying to remember who I am
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
Mike prefers a quiet conversation in the pub
But the English are pissed, drunk, and raging
"Hey Bono?" they said when they threw peanuts at my head
And said, "Hey prick, can we try on your glasses?"
Now, I am just a dork, but listen, I come from New York
So I said, "Hey, what are you guys, Irish?"
Came to play the game without a plan
And Pete puked on the map; we don't know where we're going
I do not know exactly who I am
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
But I think I feel the power
Tell me, where do you guys wanna go to?
Well, I could go for that
But I need to buy a hat
I think I saw some for sale on the small streets
I think Pete has the map, but tell me, what's the difference?
I do not know exactly where I am
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in...
He is standing in between us
Preaching words that he doesn't believe

'Cause he keeps calling me Captain
And he's barking and growling at strangers
Later on tonight he's gonna turn back into Elvis
When they kick his ass out of the sex show
I think Pete lost the map; we don't know where we're going
I'm trying to remember who I am
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam
(Amsterdam, Amsterdam)
I'm an American in Amsterdam

I love this song and I love Wheatus.
And that English barfight is probably my favorite part.
